Dimethyl formamide

Product Overview & Quality

• Product Name: Dimethyl formamide (N,N-Dimethylformamide / DMF)
• Product Code: CH-DA009
• Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with an exceptional premium purity of 99.8 percent or higher. Carefully manufactured and regulated under strict laboratory quality standards to ensure ultra-low water content, acidity, and trace heavy metal background, delivering a reliable chemical baseline for sophisticated instrumentation.
• Physical Properties: Clear, colorless, mobile liquid with a faint, characteristic amine-like or ammonia-like odor.
• Solubility: Completely miscible with water and the vast majority of common organic solvents.
• Key Use: Highly valued as a powerful polar aprotic solvent for dissolving tough organic compounds, structural polymers, resins, and specialized plastics. Frequently used as a reaction medium and versatile solvent in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical drug discovery. Also widely applied in preparing laboratory samples for advanced liquid chromatography and spectroscopy protocols.

Safety & Hazards (Critical)

• Classification: Flammable liquid and vapor. Harmful in contact with skin. Harmful if inhaled. Causes serious eye irritation. May damage fertility or the unborn child. May cause damage to organs (Liver) through prolonged or repeated exposure.
• Health Risks: Material is easily and rapidly absorbed through intact skin, carrying systemic risks. Direct skin or eye contact triggers significant chemical irritation and redness. Inhalation of volatile vapors irritates the respiratory tract and acts as a potent hepatotoxin (damages the liver), potentially inducing nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort.
• First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air immediately. Seek urgent medical attention.

Handling & Storage

• Storage: Flammable and Hygroscopic. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed container inside a certified chemical safety cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry, and excellently ventilated chemical zone at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep strictly away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, static discharge, strong acids, halogenated compounds, and strong oxidizing agents.
• Precautions: Comprehensive PPE is mandatory. Wear specialized chemical-resistant laboratory gloves (ensure material compatibility as DMF readily penetrates standard latex), safety glasses, and a protective lab coat. Handle strictly within a functioning fume hood to avoid inhaling hazardous volatile fumes.
